What's more awesome and generous and wonderful than a person putting a Little Free Library out on…read moretheir property? A person putting 2 LFL's on their property!! These robust, little repositories for readers were positively packed with books to explore and enjoy. The dark blue one seemed to be set aside for the littles while the Schoolhouse Rock library had options for more experienced readers. They were right near the street and my guess is that the gently insane neighbor that I dealt with would never make an appearance with most visitors.

There is nothing little about this Little Free Library…read more It's huge!! Easily four times the size of any other LFL I've seen. Lots of selection in an environment that's open 24 hours, is warm and sheltered from the elements and because it's in the LAPD Traffic Division lobby, has an almost zero chance of crime. The motorcycle theme is pretty cool too. A nice job and an excellent use of a space that otherwise might not be of much value.

A visit that was made more interesting by a squirrel in the nearest tree who was shouting down curses and warnings in his little squirrel-ly language that this was HIS library and I was not welcome and he was prepared to rain down hellfire and walnuts unless I unhanded his most prized possession. I tried to negotiate. I tried to reason with him. I exercised the deepest most heartfelt diplomacy. But he would have none of it. In the end I had to endure his insults and slanderous disparagements as I made my selection and humbly returned to my car aware that he had won and that I had been well and thoroughly berated.

It was like bumping into your doctor at the park or your History teacher in the supermarket. I knew the thing I was looking at but it was in such an unexpected location that it took me a moment to process. This LFL is lovely. Made of a piece of repurposed cabinetry it was protected from the elements, was uniquely laid out and was generously sized. And the fact that the sign was in Spanglish made it even more fun!

This ruggedly built, sparklingly red Little Free Library is packed full of well-taken-care reading…read morematerial, perfect for a leisurely review of your next good book. But there's a cactus nearby. So no wild dance party or spontaneous plunking down and stretching out. The owners appear to be encouraging a more of a find-what-you're-after-and-head-on-home kind of an approach.

This is an awesome Little Free Library and seems to be perfectly set up for tween and teen readers…read more It's just their height, it's packed full of teen and tween material. It's on the corner of a residential neighborhood right next to the sidewalk. It's even tilted slightly up so that if you're a little taller than the library it's easy to see inside. It's absolutely wonderful and I hope it gets tons of use.

In a world where book stores are a dying species and the literary arts are being overshadowed by…read moresocial media/texting jargon; I support any program or gimmick which highlights literacy. Of course, libraries still exist where readers can borrow books to their hearts' content. However, sometimes you want to own a book and simply can't afford it. For these book worms with slim wallets: there are the Little Free Libraries. What the heck is a "Little Free Library", you ask? Little Free Libraries are small, birdhouse-like structures maintained by private curators (businesses, home-owners, people like you and me) in association with the charity, Little Free Library. The charity helps individuals create and upkeep the libraries (you can even purchase pre-built structures from them). How does it work? Simple: the merit system. You bring a book and take a book. Heck, you can even take a book without bringing one but don't be a greedy Grinch and take them all! With its own theme and book selection; each little free library is a unique experience and great for those who can't afford to purchase a book (note: this is more like a book store versus a library because you get to keep the book if you want). The Caw Cottage Little Free Library is located in a beautiful, shaded, tree-lined, quiet neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. The area exudes peace and charm and is thus quite conducive to book-reading. The Caw Cottage Little Free Library is located on a white picket fence in front of a beautiful home (can it get better than that?). The area is clean and luckily no kiddos decided to vandalize the structure and therefore you are greeted by a double glass-doored birdhouse-like structure in the vein of a shabby chic cottage. Simply open the glass doors and peruse the selection. Expecting crappy books that no one wants? Wrong, my friend! Caw Cottage's selection varies from art to history, novels to biographies. I snagged a recently published book from one of my favorite authors! I was stoked! The books are in great condition (albeit a bit loss of color from minor sun damage). The offerings are better than some used book stores. The point of Caw Cottage is the experience. You can't help but smile as you are transported to the land of books. Yes, it may be a gimmick or overly whimsical to some. However, for book lovers, it is a "cute" moment to be savored. Caw Cottage bleeds love for books. The Little Free Libraries are a wonderful idea and Caw Cottage is one of the better ones with its location, curbside appeal, and book selection. Definitely a must for book lovers!
